I was happy with my earlier card also but wanted to do some experiments with background, wanted to give it softer look. and I came up with this card :)

I started with white color card stock and stamped various flowers and leaves from different stamp sets ( wplus9, stampenduous, Itsy Bitsy.) and colored them with picked raspberry and ripe persimmon distress inks. This time I kept some space between blooms and to give a very soft look to whole background I used spun sugar distress ink to color complete panel. OMG!! It looks awesome..

I chose this sentiment again from Big, bold and you stamp set from Winnie&walter and heat embossed it in silver on a black stripe. First adhered the colored panel to black card base and then pasted the black stripe ( sentiment on it) to the panel. and that completes my card.
